The bug still persists in cosmic cuttlefish in combination with Samsung SCX-470x, 13 years after #195782 was filed. The workaround also works still, after I installed libsane-extras, xsane miracally started up without an error. I suggest to change the package dependence so that libsane-extras is installed by default

Since Hardy, my HP Deskjet F2180 supports printing but no scanning. If I start XSane, he says that he couldn't find a scanner. The same problem appears in all scansoftware which I know. Also the HP Toolbox (hplip-gui package) is affected. He found my device but say it isn't connected or offline. So in this case, only printing works. If I try to look for a scanner via "sane-find-scanner" in a terminal, he also could not find my HP F2180. Before Hardy. the scan-function was working very well. Printer: HP DeskJet F2100 Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.2 This is caused by the user not having been added to the "scanner" group. See below.
